Pursuing MBBS in Gujarat under the NRI quota requires qualifying NEET-UG 2026, submitting valid NRI/OCI/PIO documents, completing state-level verification through ACPUGMEC, and participating in Gujarat’s centralized online counselling.
Government, private, and GMERS colleges in Gujarat reserve a fixed percentage of seats for NRI students, ensuring a transparent, merit-based admission. Seats are allotted based on NEET score, verified documents, and counselling preferences.
This guide covers eligibility, NRI rules, required documents, fee structure, college list, seat matrix, cutoffs, and step-by-step counselling to help you secure your MBBS seat in Gujarat smoothly and confidently.
The NRI Quota is a special reservation category created under the Supreme Court of India’s directives, allowing Non-Resident Indians (NRI), Overseas Citizens of India (OCI), Person of Indian Origin (PIO), and Children/Wards of NRIs to secure MBBS seats in medical colleges. These seats are legally mandated and regulated by the NMC (National Medical Commission) and the respective state counselling body — in Gujarat, this is ACPUGMEC.
Under the NRI quota, eligible candidates can apply for a dedicated pool of seats across government, semi-government (GMERS), and private medical colleges in Gujarat. Typically, 15% of seats in private colleges and a fixed number in government colleges are reserved exclusively for NRI candidates. Since these seats are separate from the general counselling pool, competition is lower and admission is more predictable.
Students choosing the NRI quota in Gujarat benefit from a more streamlined admission process, reduced competition compared to general and management quota seats, and full transparency in documentation, fee structure, and seat allocation. Importantly, the MBBS degree earned under the NRI category is identical, fully NMC-recognized, and holds equal value in India and abroad.
